18:022:008 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth;
and the
honourable
man dwelt in it.
18:022:009 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the
arms of the
fatherless
have been broken.
18:022:010 Therefore snares are round about thee,
and sudden fear
troubleth
thee;
18:022:011 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and
abundance of waters
cover
thee.
18:022:012 Is not God in the height of heaven? and
behold the height of
the
stars, how high they are!
18:022:013 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can
he judge through the
dark
cloud?
18:022:014 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that
he seeth not; and he
walketh
in the circuit of heaven.
18:022:015 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
18:022:016 Which were cut down out of time, whose
foundation was
overflown
with a flood:
18:022:017 Which said unto God, Depart from us:
and what can the Almighty
do
for them?
18:022:018 Yet he filled their houses with good things:
but the counsel
of
the wicked is far from me.
18:022:019 The righteous see it, and are glad:
and the innocent laugh
them
to scorn.
18:022:020 Whereas our substance is not cut down,
but the remnant of them
the
fire consumeth.
18:022:021 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at
peace: thereby good
shall
come unto thee.
18:022:022 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his
mouth, and lay up his
words
in thine heart.
18:022:023 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt
be built up, thou
shalt
put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
18:022:024 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and
the gold of Ophir as
the
stones of the brooks.
18:022:025 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence,
and thou shalt have
plenty
of silver.
18:022:026 For then shalt thou have thy delight in
the Almighty, and
shalt
lift up thy face unto God.
18:022:027 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and
he shall hear thee,
and
thou shalt pay thy vows.
18:022:028 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it
shall be established
unto
thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
18:022:029 When men are cast down, then thou shalt
say, There is lifting
up;
and he shall save the humble person.
18:022:030 He shall deliver the island of the innocent:
and it is
delivered
by the pureness of thine hands.
18:023:001 Then Job answered and said,
18:023:002 Even to day is my complaint bitter:
my stroke is heavier than
my
groaning.
18:023:003 Oh that I knew where I might find him!
that I might come even
to
his seat!
